I hooked up a vacuum gauge directly to the vacuum line and it gave the same readings as the Defi gauge. So the gauge and sensors are wired and working properly. But that vacuum line doesn't seem to be correct for me. Does it matter that I have an automatic and not a manual?

Do you have ecutek, oft or dash command? 30psi of vacuum seems like a lot.

I have ecutek. But my OBDII reports normal boost levels, reaching 0 as I have WOT. I removed the T from the brake booster line and ran the line from the spare nipple out of the intake manifold. It's reading normal boost now.

I don't know why that other line is reporting -30psi constantly unless I'm punching the brakes. From all I've seen it should be reporting normal boost levels too.

That must be it. Luckily since the intake has the spare port things are working properly. Hopefully whoever finds this post since it's still a top Google result in the future will have everything they need to get things installed quickly for a manual and an automatic now

Yep, for the automatic, you'll need to tap the line right off the back of the intake manifold.....
